-# We include dependencies on ../config.h in order to
-# capture when $(VERSION) changes.
-
-#
-# This is a hideous hack.
-#
-# Automake needs to know into which sections to install various man
-# pages; if the names in "man_MANS" have suffixes, it can infer the
-# sections from the name (e.g., "hello.1" goes in section 1), but if
-# they don't have suffixes, it can't tell what sections to put them, and
-# it just gives up and doesn't create any rules to install them (and it
-# gives up silently, so you have no clue what's wrong).
-#
-# Therefore, we can't just set "man_MANS" to a list of variables to be
-# filled in by the configure script, as those variables don't have man
-# page section numbers.
-#
-# It turns out (although this is not documented anywhere I could find
-# in the automake Info file) that if you define, instead, variables with
-# names like "man{section}_MANS", automake will infer that the names in
-# those variables are the names of man pages to be installed in section
-# "{section}".
-#
-# So we define "man1_MANS" to contain all the section 1 man pages and
-# man4_MANS for the (one) section 4 man page.
-#
-# *However*, if "man_MANS" isn't defined at all, automake concludes that
-# there are no man pages, the fact that, say, "man1_MANS" is defined
-# nonwithstanding!  (I suspect this is the result of a mistaken attempt
-# to get people to fix their automake files not to use "MANS"; if "MANS"
-# is defined, it prints a warning and sets the exit status, but doesn't
-# exit, and then it just gives up if "man_MANS" isn't defined,
-# presumably on the theory that the only reason it wouldn't be defined
-# is because the automake file uses the obsolete "MANS" variable instead
-# of the shiny new "man_MANS" variable.)
-#
-# So we also define "man_MANS", but don't define it as anything;
-# automake will arrange that the Makefile define it as the union of all
-# the "man{section}_MANS" variables.
